How is it possible for one country to be so greedy and corrupt?Everything from the LG spyware/adware stuff to engineering artificial shortages in the memory market. How did things get this bad?
>>109426052I'm not korean but it sounds more like you are talking about the USA, pic related
>>109426052Korea is literally Russia tier. They were bleached by American military bases, but their soul can not be fixed. You can see it displayed in all their movies too.
>>109426312examples?
>>109426052>How is it possible for one country to be so greedy and corrupt?Well, they're Korean...
People forgot that South Korea was a dictature for half of its existence and is still a third world country parading as a first one.
>>109426052conglomerates like samsung, LG and SK group are 95% of the entire economy, employ the majority of the working population and have more money than the government with virtually no competition regulation to hold them back
>>109427045You can say that for most of Asia. Japan was a feudal state up to about 1868. Yet the outcomes differed enormously.
>>109426052make your own memory then. why do you rely on gooks and chinks from the other side of the world for critical tech?
>>109426052They learnt it from the best.
>>109427264Most of today Koreans grew up under the dictature.
>>109427276auf Englisch heißt es "dictatorship"
>>109426052South Korea is a perfect example of what real capitalism looks like, a few families owning everything and everyone with the rest being forced into an inhuman materialistic rat race competing to the death with plastic surgery and work hours. And true to end-stage capitalism, everything has been turned into a winner takes all market place even interpersonal relationships which is why SK has the lowest birth rate with an actual gender war going on.
>>109427313korea is the future the world is looking at, funny that cyberpunk predicted this, few companies controlling an entire country or continent
>>109427288Mein Gott! Arrgh!!>>109427313>real capitalismNo. That is so wrong. Capitalism means private ownership of the means of production, and also competition and transparency. With all power in a few hands there is no longer a competition, instead the market has been carved up by agreements that lack transparency.
gooks are an ancient offshoot of chinks. But also, America forced them to modernize before they were ready in the 60s. A real phenomenon with poor people, is you never give them too much sudden wealth at once, because they rarely handle it well. And the US did this to an entire country.They still have that distinct poverty inferiority about them, which is why they're so obsessed with materialism and status.
>>109427313korea is literally pseudo-communist, or arguably fascist. Either way both forms of top down collectivism. They were doing chinese-style 5-year plans until the late 90s and the chaebols were created in a similar fashion to china's state sponsored enterprises, not owned but closely tied by obligations and tailored laws and selective enforcement.
>>109426052Aren't Micron an american company? Why are they participating in the price gouging too?
What's the deal with Korean society anyway?Not tech, but when they exited the world cup, the country was so outraged that the manager couldn't even fly back to the country out of fear for his safety. Then the president of Korea condemned the coach and ordered a full investigation into the football program.No other nation has reacted anything like this to an early world cup exit, except for North Korea in 2010.
>>109426312Movies, manwha, k-drama, k-pop. It's a soulless country
>>109428316You have zero understanding
>>109428306>But also, America forced them to modernize before they were ready in the 60s.So why did it work in Japan? The US opened Japan with the subtlely of a can opener, twice. And Japan ended up as one of te wealthiest countries on the planet, until the US did another rug pull with the Plaza accord. Yet even so, the Japanese enjoy a safe society and one of if not the longest life expectancy in the world.
>>109428306This.Koreans are basically Beverly Hillbillies.>>109428532Nta but he actually dropped some rare truthbombs about korea. I take it you are Korean and he hurt your small dicked 한 feefees
>>109427313>South Korea is a perfect example of what real capitalism looks like,South Korea is only like that due to insane levels of intervention which benefits a small group of firms.Actual capitalism would take away their government privileges and force them to compete.>And true to end-stage capitalismTWO MORE WEEKS!!
>>109428623lmao
>>109426052>chang mad his people can't take the stolen ddr5 memory from Samsung and actually make it properly thus he seethesUnlike china, Koreans actually apply themselves and invest in proper R&D.HBM, invented in Korea3D VNAND, invented in KoreaNext gen DRAM cells, invented in KoreaAll of these are core technologies used by todays AI companies and Korea invested in them from decades ago while Chinese just sit back and wait for an opportunity to steal instead of actually applying themselves.
they've always been like that
>>109426052>engineering artificial shortages in the memory market>Forgets that Micron exists and would gobble up market share if the Koreans held back supply.People here aren't very smart.
>>109428839Explain this, Park: >>109428387
>>109428387>>>/sp/
>>109428820argument?
>>109428958Imagine having to resort to football in order to 'gotcha' a country you're clearly envious of. lol
>>109428839>the korean proper R&D in question
>>109429062yes, Korea does proper R&D.Example, HBM, one of the most crucial and key technology driving todays innovations, powering datacenters from the big tech firms to small businesses, let alone helping drive AI into the future, it was created by Koreans.
>>109429062Modern NAND Flash, specifically CTF and 3D NAND were invented by Koreans (Samsung)Charge Trap Flash allowed us to make dense Flash storage at scale which drove down prices and increased capacity. It was a huge improvement over the initial FGT that, compared to modern flash, ran hot, used more energy, cost a lot to produce, and had reliability issues which is why it never took off commercially. 3D NAND was pioneered by Samsung and it is licensed to all Flash manufacturers today as they control the core IP. It enabled the ultra high density, lowered prices further and made 3D packaging mainstay in semiconductors.
>>109429062Take HBM and the lessons learned from 3D NAND and combine them and you get the up coming HBF that Sandisk and SK Hynix are pioneering.It is Flash built like HBM to allow dense storage close to the NPU as an intermediary for HBM.
>>109428995>footballYou're deflecting, Park. This is less about football and more about how you goblins behave as a society. You clearly lack humanity.
>>109429162OLED was pioneered by Koreans and is why only Korea produces OLED TV's to this day.
>>109429162>HBFIs this going to radically reduce power consumtion and cost meaning the luddites and AI doomers will be forced to stop crying?
>>109429189Speaking of OLED, Chinese stole that tech from Samsung and got caught and had to settle out of court.Chinese do not do R&D, they only to C&S, Copy and Steal.
>>109429203Korea also pioneered the folding screen. China stole it as usual.Again, Korea does proper R&D, china only does C&S, copy and steal.
>>109429211Korea also pioneered next gen actuators for robotics, allowing for variable sense and pressure. This allows first ever true haptic reading and human like feedback.While china does performative dancing/fighting robots that Hyundai owned Boston Dynamics had done already, Korea is making actual robotics innovations that has actual use cases for every day human robot interaction and safety.
>>109429236Korea also pioneered advances in ship building and is why it mogs even China in order books for the largest, most complicated and most expensive ships built today, LNG carriers.Only Korea has the highest manganese steel. No one else can make anything close to 25%Mn steel. Only Korea and this allows them to make large ships that not only weighs less, its stronger, and safer for carrying hazardous cargo.The only reason why China gets LNG contracts is if its for a Chinese company but mainly because Korean docks are booked solid for the next 10+ years so people have to go to China.Japan can only build smaller LNG carriers due to lack of technology thus they don't get any more LNG orders.
>>109429270To date, LNG carriers use large membranes to hold the liquid. Samsung has created a new technology that allows Korea to further distance itself from other countries and will become the only nation to offer FLNG and SENSE IV transportation for LNG. Not to mention they are leading in nuclear powered LNG carriers.
>>109429301Koreans also pioneered many new materials, tools, and construction technologies that allowed Korea to become the worlds foremost construction providers. Many of the iconic buildings you have seen were built by Koreans.Fun story. the Petronas Towers. It it two towers, connected by a sky bridge. Malaysia didn't know who to use for construction between Japan and Korea so they gave contracts to both countries.Samsung built one tower and Japan built the other tower.Korea has an approach of doing things efficiently to save cost, and meet or beat schedule. Japan said they are mainly about accuracy in building. The two nations raced to see who would finish first.Turns out, Japan's tower of precision was leaning off to the side by a wide margin causing them to lose time having to go back and correct their mistakes. Meanwhile Korea finished ahead of time on budget with the correct specs.
>>109429203>>109429211>>109429236>>109429270>>109429270>>109429344>korea did this it's so good>china did this it's very bad>japan did this it's very bad tooNot Japanese or Chinese or Korean, but this feels to me like you're looking for every excuse to make China and Japan look bad and put Korea at the forefront of everything.If I had to guess, I'd say you're Korean and maybe a little jealous of China and Japan. Why? I don't know, but the feeling is there.
>>109429344Koreans also build most of the worlds largest infrastructure projects like the Worlds Longest Suspension bridge.Turkey went with Korea because only Korea has the materials to make the bridge design they wanted, and only Korea has the technology to build such a bridge. And with Korea's help, the 1915 Canakkale Bridge opened over a year early.Korean's also build nearly all of the water desalination plants and oil refineries in the middle east.
>>109429377Korea also made their own and fist Laser based anti-drone system. This existed before even the recent British version.
>>109429370I'M KOREANSON OF A BITCH AMERICANAMERICAN IS PIGDO YOU WANT A HAMBURGER?DO YOU WANT A PIZZA?AMERICAN IS PIG DISGUSTINGGEORGE WALKER BUSH IS A MURDERER FUCKING U.S.A
>>109429390I'm not American either.
>>109429389Not to mention they also made their anti-missile and drone interceptors and even the 'test version' in Dubai had a 96% interception rate, compared to the controversial patriot system that has a rate down to 30%.This isn't even the full version only available to the Korean military.Their secret? Koreans developed their own AI chip in the missiles that programmatically adjusts flight based off any radar system a country may want to use. This is the key technology they pioneered.
>>109429422Healthcare and bio tech wise, Korea has arguably the most advanced healthcare in the world. Its so good that many Chinese, Japanese, Europeans, and Americans go to Korea for their healthcare.In fact, 12 of the top 15 most advanced hospitals in Asia are all Korean.
>>109429438And one of the most important inventions in all of Humanity was made by a Korean. The MOSFET.The MOSFET allowed us to create the Silicon Based Integrated Circuits. With this, we entered the Silicon Age, which lead to the Information and Digital Age, and enabled countless trillions of dollars in new industries. It paved the way for all sorts of new electronics, large and small, that nearly everyone on the planet depends on daily.All of your computers, phones, and tablets you're using to browse this post is due to a Korean's innovation and vision.So yeah, Korea fucking innovates and does PROPER R&D unlike its neighbor.
>>109429468There is a reason why all of the major western tech giants in AI signed $950 Billion (nearly a Trillion U.S. Dollars) in deals just a week ago with Korean companies.Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic all made new deals with Korean tech giants. This is in conjunction with existing deals made with xAI and Google that aren't included in this trillion dollar deal.As much as you haters will hate, Korea is mogging its neighbors and is standing shoulder to shoulder with the worlds largest tech giants.Cope and Seethe.

>>109428273>Capitalism means private ownership of the means of production, and also competition and transparency. With all power in a few hands there is no longer a competition, instead the market has been carved up by agreements that lack transparency.That's the logical *result* of capitalism.

So with all these great things the kimchi fanatic is posting about worst korea, why are the government always fucked up and why are the people so unhappy and spiteful? Koreans love revenge dramas because they’re all emotionally stunted
>>109426052Korea let a very few number of corporations almost unlimited power in exchange for rapid economic growth. You end up with near monopolies like Samsung. They have the resources needed to develop new technology but they will also use their monopoly power to increase profits and kill competition.

>>109433760All the Chinese women of true beauty are marrying the superior white men, western white women are disgusting, the goodness of the whites mixed with the goodness of the chinks? More dangerous than both combined, as a race they will be more than the sum of their parts. Scary future. A race of true beauty and brains, IQs in the 300s.
they will exist as paragons of mind, a new age where they simply create with thought. I can already do it myself. And I am 182.
>>109435164well I was in the 4th grade, I am 42 and never stopped studying. I was a government experiment where I went to this special school where they gave me funny medicine they called "barbituates" that made my nose see and my ears feel the whispers of the universe, and they made move a dot on the screen. I was the first in 14 years to break the machine. They had to push me forward. But then the experiment ended. I am now left discovering the secrets of the universe all by myself. I translated the voynich manuscript by the way using calculus and trig. You people have no idea what I learned in those pages. I am awake.
>>109435191it was kinda crazy, they were like "just move the dot, if you can't that's ok" I was like "I can move the dot but it is going to break" and they said "oh you can't break it, just try your hardest" and Dr Lasko was there with his harmonica, he blew that cool sound and I just moved the dot and the capacitor blew. I didn't know electronics then, but I knew it was weak and worn out. They got another one that the read mechanism was broken on, and I still moved the dot. Gosh I miss the school. They were so nice to me. Creating time in those circles and the funny little rabbits that glowed green you said was from the future.
man, I remember racists claiming that racial pure nations don't have corruption and specifically mention countries like Koreathe country whose government was literally infiltrated by some weirdo cult
>>109435276It was the Chinese, they like to play the victim, but they do other shit that's also really terrible. China is the Israel of Asia and the Chinese are the Jews. Except the Chinese have the IQ of white people. And people are marrying and having children. Man what a new thing to behold. I hope it's good and not wicked.

But Hong was hired without any job interview and wasn't even on the final candidate list. So people were mad at Hyundai.
